Rogers & Gracie v. Chapman
New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1827
7 Cow. 475

Counsel

J. V. Henry, for the defendant,, H. W. Warner, contra,

Rogers & Gracie v. Chapman

Opinion of the Court

Curia.

That is true of a case where it is apparent that nominal damages, alone would be given. But the proceedings in this case were unusually severe; and the defendant may satisfy a jury that they were dictated either by the assignee or some agent. The deputy makes no affidavit explanatory of Ms conduct. We think the defendant should be left to his remedy by action.

Motion granted.
